Yep. That is why the viphone did not sell through... Verizon customers have lots of excellent choices when it comes to smart phones. No question if you are using a late model top tier android device like the dx it is Painful going back to a viphone. Add to that real 12Mbit plus downloads only on Verizon and only on android phones and apples offerings are not even in the game. A viphone 5 with lte would make it a bit more interesting but I'm not holding my breath. Buddy has a Atrix on atandt and gets 300 down.... its pitiful.

The viphone kills in video conferencing though....

Not sure what "issues" you're having, but I've had 4.3 (never seen it called "4.3.0" since there's no such thing, Math 101), but I don't have gyro issues, and my battery life is fantastic. I can't say I use facetime much, but when I have I've had no issues. Sounds like you might have a device issue, not a widespread OS issue. When Apple released 4.3, it was widely understood that it was released to plug the jailbreak.... tho it seems for many that "issues" suddenly are realized when Apple releases a "fix" ... I have a feeling that you're the type that if Apple releases 4.3.2 to fix "volume issues" you'll suddenly complain that you hate 4.3.1 because of the volume bug, even though you'd never mentioned it until they said they're fixing it. That's the type of person psychics prey on... lol.

This is why I ditched iPhone and went to Android 2 months ago. I got sick of the waiting game for jailbreaks. I have no right to a jailbreak, I just wanted it sooner, and the devs have had a harder and harder time making it happen for every OS release. Android on the other hand, has everything I jailbreak for already built into the OS... widgets, better multitasking, personal hotspot (not ad-hoc crap, etc). I bought an iPad assuming the chatter about "it's almost here" from 3 weeks ago wouldn't be like the Christmas promises that didn't come through till February for iPhone, but again I was disappointed.

Again, I don't feel entitled to something, my frustration isn't with the Dev Team, it's with Apple. They're focusing sooooo much energy on fighting jailbreaking that Android has focused the same time on building the features and OS that users want. If this thing doesn't come out in the next week this iPad is going back. Apple already lost me in the phone business, guess they want to alienate me as a tablet customer too?

Ok, queue the Apple fanboy flamers... it's fine, I can take it. I speak from reality not fanaticism. 1 year ago iOS owned the market, now Android does. Give it one more year and it won't even be close if Apple continues to treat customers like prisoners. That didn't work out well for them in the 80s, which gave MSFT the ammo they needed to permanently take the market, and this isn't panning out any different.

The blinking folder/question mark icon means the computer can't find a viable OS to boot from. You never did answer Intell's question: did you install OS X onto the replacement drives? You can't boot from a blank HDD.

I believe i did answer Intels question. Cool. Thanks

I'm curious as to how the fifth avenue turn out was. This is the first big event at this store that I missed. I was there for its opening day and the iPhone launch. Both were amazing. I just don't see the need to buy leapord right now because I plan on buying a new mac within the year.

I haven't seen any definite confimation. From what I've read the iPhone will be released to more countries on that date and the Philippines is one of the countries listed as coming soon.

Hello,

I am starting to be really confused with Image, ImageRep, View, GraphicsContext, etc.

On one hand, what I have found in books and blogs focuses mainly on recipes. On the other hand, I am finding the Cocoa Drawing Guide from Apple documentation really overwhelming.

Does anyone has something else to recommend ?

Thanks, Paul

I print to an Epson SC 777 with no driver installed all the time. I just clicked that icon with the printer and the ?, and clicked Add. Works fine.

You will need to get two active MDP to DVI adapters (Amazon has them for about $35 each), passive adapters will only work with up to 2 monitors. The Apple dual-link/active adapters will work but they are expensive, and if you don't need the dual link, they are overkill as well. The real issue is the resolution of the monitors, and you may need the dual-link/active expensive adapters depending on the monitor you connect. I don't know much about that, so maybe someone who knows for sure could chime in...:cool:

That's assuming the Samsung monitors only have DVI inputs and no DisplayPort .. ports... Then yes, you would need some active adapters.

But yes, the 3 monitors can plug in and "screen span" as you call it. It's just simply set from the Display sections of the System Preferences.

As for the Nvidia 8800GT... I dunno. Don't have one. But, probably? If the 8800GT only needs 1 power connector - the 5770 will take 1 power connector leaving one spare.

Where does this healthy free market exist? :confused:

It sure isn't America.

Oh yes, Canada as well.

Competition is but a fond, or arcane, memory.

Yeh, I think last time it was something like 28 days...

Either way, it hasn't got anything to do with stingy; let us say for the sake of argument that I purchased a Dell computer today, and vista is released on 1st February. Surely you're not expecting Dell to ship you Vista free? No Way - it's not good business sense.

Apple Hardware and Software probably have different division headings so you can't argue that the above analysis is not viable.

For them to hand out free copies of Leopard because someone bought Tiger a week before Leopard was launched. Is not much of a big deal for them as the only money they will lose out on is the cost of the packaging, postage and the physical disks. About �5? To keep you sweet so you purchase further products and remain loyal �5 is nothing. Its probably less than that! :) To duplicate another copy of Leopard to replace the one given away will be miniscule.

I'm going to a university this year and I've saved up some money to buy either base model Air or iMac. I'm going to receive a ipad2 from ma uncle and I was wondering if buying the imac was worth it bc its better performance. Would it be alright if I take the ipad to classes and work in the iMac? What I do in the computer are gaming, news, youtube, and music

Just keep in mind as well that the transparency trick doesn't work in IE so make sure you have a fall back in those instances.

Good point! I'd recommend using jQuery for a project like this. The jQuery transparency functions work across all browsers.

the cash in your pocket really isnt yours but your assets are. however most of the "money" that exists in the world, doesnt actually exists. they are just 1s and 0s in a database.

Seriously, all you folks who are saying this and that about the bezel control (i.e. Every time I touch it I'll adjust the volume, or change my ringtone... blah, blah...), do you really think Apple would release it's "next big thing" without making sure it worked perfectly, intuitively, and didn't just go completely haywire every time you touch it or bump it?

For crying out loud, the company's future depends in no small part on the iPod, I'm fairly certain Apple's going to make sure each successive iPod is as innovative and market-dominating as the rest of the line has been. THat includes ease-of-use.

Have a little faith, here. You see one patent filing and freak out. Sheesh.

Can the mods create a new section for ATT and Verizon? Only been one day but the forum is cluttered with all the Verizon issues. Do we really have to go through this all again?
